The Twin Brothers

Enzo slams the paper down. He ruffles his hair and groans frustratedly. He was stressed the past few days, not being able to see the girl. Darliana. It had been maybe three days since they haven’t seen her. But they did ask their guards to guard her wards and around the hospital.

“Any news, Kelvin?” He asks.

No, sir. We still find the person.” Kelvin answers. He also has been non-stop in front of his tablet or his office, finding the person who threatened them. The twin told them to stop the task of finding Rosie Thaver for a while.

“How about you and Cara take a rest? You guys have been working non-stop.” He sighs, remembering Cara also working non-stop same with their men. “Tell the guards to take a rest also.” Enzo stood up, grabbing Liana’s second phone.

“Are you sure, sir?” Kelvin frowns. Earning a nod from him, he bowed and went out of his office.

Enzo might be cruel and heartless but that doesn’t mean he be like that forever. He texts Jessica and asks if he and Leo can visit Darliana. While he waiting for the girl responds, he rests his face on the table.

“How are you doing?” Leo asks, closing the door.

His brother lifted his head and saw Leo. His hair was messy, and seem like he couldn’t sleep well at all. “I’m the one who should ask you that.” He grunts.

“We both no difference. You know that.” Leo sits in front of him.

“How it can be torturing not seeing Liana just for three days? This is stupid!!” Enzo throws his pen.

“I hate to admit it but you are right. Her family wouldn’t allow us to visit her.” His brother sighs, closing his eyes. He never saw Leo in this state even his face was blank but his eyes showed a lot of emotion.

“I already text Jessica and asked if we can visit her.” He spokes causing Leo’s expression to lit up. “But, she hasn’t replied yet. Just wait.” He immediately said.

Leo huffs. “How is the progress of Rosie Thaver?” He asks. It is not that he doesn’t want to care about who sent the treat, but he needs to relax for a while.

“I ask them to stop and focus on who sent the letter.” Enzo answers. Before any of them spoke, Liana’s second phone let out a sound ding. He check it and it was Jessica. “She replies!!!”

Leo abruptly sits up and snatches the phone from him. “Fucking finally!!” He throws the phone at Enzo before running outside.

“Hey!! Wait for me!! Liana is my girl also!!” Enzo runs after him.

_______________

Leo and Enzo walk towards her ward. They saw Jessica waiting for them in front of her room, probably waiting for them. “Her family wouldn’t find out?”

“Oh, there you are!!” Jessica gives them a big smile. “Nope. My father-in-law has a busy day in his office. My boyfriend, Ivan–” Leo cuts her off.

“That rude and so-called protective brother is your boyfriend? And his name is Ivan?” He arches his eyebrows. It is not that hard to guess which Ivan is since he’s the only young guy.

“I’m sorry about him. He kinda… yeah. He loves Liana. Since he found Liana alone in the box aban—oh uh.” She looks shocked at herself. How can she say this towards some people she just met.

“We don’t have time but can we go in?” Enzo asks.

“Sure sure!! She has been dying to meet you guys. She didn’t talk to anyone and hasn’t eaten properly.” When Jessica says that, the twin didn’t waste their time but barge into the ward.

There she is. Lay on the bed, staring outside the window. Her face is not joyful like usually but blank. As if she was in her world. The twin rush toward her earning attention.

“Ennie? Lili?” Her doe eyes were wide open.

“Oh, baby. I miss you.” Enzo brings her to his chest. Finally, he got her warmth after three days. “We’re sorry for not coming. It’s not that we don’t care—”

“I–I understand, E–Ennie. My–My family t–told you guys to b-back off. It makes me m-mad.” She pouting. When someone touch her hand, she turns her head and saw Leo. “Lili!! I miss you too!!”

“Me too, little one.” He smiles.

“Now. Have you eaten?” Enzo changes his expression to the stern one. The girl whimpers, hiding her face in Leo’s arms. “We heard you haven’t eaten properly this past few days. Mind telling me? Us?” He narrows his eyes on her.

Liana keeps quiet. She still hiding in Leo’s arms since he is already sitting. She knows Jessica will tell them this but they have to understand why she wouldn’t eat.

“Little one,” Leo warns her.

“I–I just m–missing you. I c–can’t focus on m–my daily basis.” Liana sighs. Her family never gives up to ask her eating but in the end, she rejects it. Not gonna lie, the twin feels the same as her.

“Little one, we know what you felt. We felt the same. But, you have to eat so that you can recover fast.” Leo brushed her hair. She slightly ods. She lifted her head from his arms and make grabby hands towards the container at the desk. “Who cooks this, little one?” He opens it and reveals mac and cheese.

“J–Jessica. She b–bought it form–me but I–I told her I will e–eat it later.” She explains.

Enzo seat on another side of her, “But now, you will at it in front of us. NOW.” He presses the word. Liana gulps hearing his dominant voice and immediately grabs the utensils to start eating.

The twin exchange look and smirks. While watching her eating, Enzo starts talking. “We decide to bring you living with us.” He blurts it out.

Liana looks at him with shock. “W–What?”

“Someone wanted to use you to threaten us. They know you are a precious diamond to us.” He explains. “We know… this too out of blue. But we can’t let you out of our sight.”

“B–But…”

“Little one. You getting targetted make us… scared.” The word scared seems new to them making it awkward. “Please. We begging you. We can’t see you bleeding again. We don’t want to repeat that scene.” Leo pleaded. It was so rare to see these guys begging.

“I–It not that I don’t w–want. If–felt safe with y–you guys. But… m–my family… t–they want me t–t back to their house.” She sighs. Enzo grabs her utensils and feeds her.

“They wouldn’t believe us and let us be near you, right?” Enzo asks.

“R–Right.” She sighs.

The twin exchange looks again. “If that so… fine. Let them be.” He states.

“Let them–what?” Liana frowns. Looking at them.

“Just follow them, baby. We will do what we can do.” Enzo grins. But that grins look like something they plan. “You trust us, right?” He asks.

“O–Of course I am.” She nods.

Before they could say anything, the door bursts open. Jessica looked at them with a horror expression. They looked at her with question marks. “Ivan is coming. With mum. I don’t know if he find some time to visit you!!” She grunts.

Hearing that makes Liana pouts. Enzo gives her the food before standing up. Both of them hug her. “Please. D–Don’t go.” She whimpered. Tears already form in her eyes.

“Baby. We will come for you. But right now, you just need to wait for us.” Enzo cooed at her.

“Promise?”

Leo chuckles. “We promise.” He kissed her forehead and went out not before giving her one last glance. Enzo copy his action and smiled at her for one last time.

Liana smiles, playing with his almost finished food. She doesn’t know what they will do but she knows they wouldn’t hurt her. Jessica sits beside her. “You guys are cute.” She grins.

The girl chuckles timidly.

___________________

The girl keeps tossing around her bed. When she realise she couldn’t sleep, she sit up. She held her head and mentally groans due to her lack of sleep. The doctor told her she can go home tomorrow.

“I need fresh air.” She gets up and went out fo her ward.

The hallway was empty since it was midnight. She knows she can’t go out at night but she just sneaks out. Since there’s no nurse wandering around, she walks. She decided to go to the rooftop since there she can have fresh air.

When she walks using stairs, she stops. Something’s wrong. She looks down and saw no one going up. With that, she jogs up. It might be Enzo and Leo’s men since she knows they wouldn’t let her wander off without any guards.

Liana opens the door and feels the soft breeze hitting her. Sure it’s cold but who cares. She slowly walks towards the railing, putting her hands on it.

She can see the beautiful city lights everywhere.

“Hmm. I wonder what Ennie and Leo do right now.” She mutters. How much she misses those twins. The way they comfort her, check her heart rate, baby her more and everything.

‘TACK’

She flinched and turns around. See nothing. Feels safe leaving her body as she starts to feel she is not alone. Liana look around her until her left side-

“Ah!!” Someone grabs her and tries to close her mouth. She struggles to escape but the grip is too tight. There’s something this person tries to inject her but her body moving. Her blurry eyes try to find something useful but nothing.

“Shh. Damien will take good care of you, sweetie.” It was a man.

When nothing she can do, she remembers what Adam taught her. Kick their private part if they are assholes. As much as she hates it, she has to do it. The guy groans in pain and his grips loosened. Liana takes this chance to run. She can hear that guy running after her.

“HELP!! SOMEONE HELP!!!” She yells. Both of them run at the stair.

“Come here, bitch!!!” The guy yells. He grabs her hair making her scream. “Look like I have to do it the hard way.” He punched her causing her to fall, rolling on the stair.

Liana can feel blood on her lips and pain on her cheek. She groaned in pain at the same time, crying. The guy chuckled as he went down. He kneels in front of her and grabs her hair. “You think with you with your weak little body, you can fight me?” He laughs.

Yes. It is weak. But that doesn’t stop and makes her give up. She bites his hand. “AHH FUCK!!”

She slaps him in the face and kicks him. The guy falls on his back. Liana didn’t waste her time but ran. She opens the door and almost bumps into the nurse. They look at her with shock and confusion.

“Miss, Darliana? What are you doing up there?” One of the nurses asks.

Instead, Liana didn’t answer but just ran. “Hey!! Who are you!!??” She heard the nurse yelling. She looks behind and saw the same guy.

BAAM!!

BAAM!!

Liana couldn’t help but yells. The bullet misses the target. Suddenly, she accidentally sprained her ankle. “A–Ah…” She cried in pain. The guy chuckles walking slowly towards her.

“Before those two stupid twins came, I better bring you to Damien.” He said. Before he could any steps forward, someone shot his legs. The nurse there yells in fear.

When the guards she recognized appeared, she sighs in relief. “Princess!!” They rush towards her but some of them hold that guy. “Are you okay? Are you hurt!? Oh my gosh!! We’re dead!! We definitely dead!!” The guard starts to panic.

“I told you we shouldn’t get those tacos!!” Another guard grunts.

“N–No. I’m… f–fine.” Liana stops them. “I–I want… them.” She wipes her tears. Those guards know who she refers to so they help her stand up. Her gaze falls on the guy who wants to take her. He was being held and dragged to one van. Even he struggles to escape.

“Kidnapped her?” Felix was stunned to hear the word that escaped from Enzo’s mouth.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Yes. Trust me. Living with her family only gives them chance.” He said.

“Didn’t that… wrong?” Adam asks.

Leo takes a seat beside Felix. “For her sake.”

The two friends let out a heavy sigh. “If you say so. When we will do the job?” Adam asks.

“Not yet sure. Maybe after she lived with her family.” Enzo answers.

They know this is wrong. But, if they don’t do this, that person will have a chance to take her and god knows what they will do to her. Second, they have to protect the Thaver clan.

“CAPO!!!”

All of them turns their head to that guard who just barge into the living room. He was breathless, trying to catch his breath. “What’s wrong, dude?” Adam starts.

“P–Princess… Darliana.” He pointing outside.

The twins run outside. Once they were outside of their mansion, they saw Liana in one of the guard arms in bride style. She is still in her hospital clothes.
